>You can't just sit down and draw something in your own style when you don't have one; it's more of a evolution of everything you've drawn before.
Wrong, what you draw is drawn in your natural style, even though you might disregard it due to it being not 'realistic' or 'accurate' enough. In fact, when an artist is stylising is or her style, he/she is actually going away from his or hers natural affinity of drawing. Of course, an infant, as I imagined in this matter, lacks the skill and knowledge of a master, however, the knowledge is to be disregarded (we are talking about natural style, knowledge is something that only can be acquired). Mind, though, that what most call 'skilled' or 'talented' is someone accurately mimicking reality, if this is what makes an artist skilled or talented I will leave to you. "I draw what I feel, not what I see."
Anyhow, because you are build up out of a unique composition of genes, experiences and thus posses a unique psyche that influences everything you do, your style is unique, simply by being as naturally drawn as possible.
